Where is Hurricane Dorian now?

At 08:00 local time on Saturday (12:00 GMT Saturday) Dorian was south of Maine, moving north-east.

The National Hurricane Center (NHC) said tropical storm conditions were expected in the extreme south-east of Massachusetts and Maine.

"On the forecast track, the centre of Dorian should pass to the southeast of extreme south-eastern New England Saturday morning, and then across Nova Scotia and Newfoundland later today and tonight," the NHC said.

The hurricane had maximum sustained winds of about 85mph (140 km/h), and was moving at a speed of 21mph (41km/h).

Forecasters said 10in (25 cm) of rain had fallen between Charleston in South Carolina and Wilmington, 170 miles away in North Carolina.

What is the damage to the Bahamas?

Dorian hit the Bahamas as a category five hurricane with winds reaching 185mph (298km/h). It matched the highest ever wind speed recorded at landfall, and stayed over affected areas for two days.

Officials say hundreds, possibly thousands, are still missing and the final death toll could be "staggering".
